The Tiger Trap

Richard and I are both well used to the perils associated with riding motorbikes, as we have ridden all over the world and more recently in Java which was particularly mad! Whether it be bottomless pot holes hidden under water, packs of quarreling dogs that are oblivious to everything, or the crazy trucks and coaches overtaking on blind bends, all can stop you in your tracks if you’re not concentrating!

So we’ve seen most things in our biking careers but what we came across yesterday in Thailand was a first – it was almost like a net tiger trap, hanging from a branch right on our line for the tight lefthander coming up. All we can think of is that it had been hooked off a passing truck by a low branch. We dread to think what would happen if you got tangled in it or came across it at night, it wouldn’t end well for sure!

Stay safe everyone. Team 2up
